hello, i'm looking for some places to shop for cute, "whimsical/shoujo", y2k pieces (thinking of brands like coyseio, between and, even brands like liz lisa, axes femme, etc.) in sapporo, both new or secondhand! i have tried to find curated vintage or dedicated stores online and have come up mostly empty handed, i'm a little overstimulated thinking of tanukikojis selection so if you know of any specific spots please let me know :') i am open to any recs for other alternative or streetwear fashion spots!

Dear r/Sapporo!

I am planning a longterm stay for a work-related project in Sapporo. I am self-employed and an accomodation is provided near Shōjin Riverside Park. I have the option to choose between July-August-September and April-May-June. Now I am struggling to make a decision. I have read about the lavender in summer, the cherry blossom in spring - but for me, it is important to interact and work with the locals and admire and learn about (sub)urban life of the region, since it will be my first time in Hokkaido. What is the more vibrant season (if there is such criteria)? Are the people of Sapporo on vacation in summer?

Additionally, the landlord said that the apartment will get "unbearingly hot" during the critical summer months, due to recent weather changes and no AC. When I check the temperature data of the last years, it seems very mild and okay in comparison to the Honshu/Kansai summer - even comparable to Western European summers. Is the over-exaggerating?

I have done some research on this subreddit and apparently Sapporo summers are getting on par with the Kansai/Honshu summers temperature-wise, at least in August. But my decision will also be based on the general aspects of social life and saisonal events.

Thank you for all hints.

Hi! Need help guys. Should I rent car @ Sapporo? mid Jan winter.
